International Flights
As a pandemic evolves, we come together, each making a mark on history
By Richard J. Rosendall
Published on July 19, 2012, 6:30am | Comments
The end of America's HIV immigration ban has allowed the XIX International AIDS Conference to be held in Washington. This welcome change reminds me of the years when the ban caused problems for Europeans participating in U.S.-based gay choral festivals.
Crossed memories summon TWA Flight 800, the New York to Paris flight that exploded shortly after takeoff on July 17, 1996. Two of its passengers were returning from a GALA Choruses Festival in Tampa, Fla. I had heard them perform just days earlier. They lurk in my memory beside a Gay Men's Chorus of Washington (GMCW) member holding an insulated blue medicine case in an airport lounge. All these years later, a friend sorts through the shapes and colors in a pile of pills to assemble his antiretroviral cocktail, a little ritual that surrounds me with vanished comrades.
A Google search brings up an old Queer Resources Directory post about the Flight 800 victims: David Hogan, music director of Le Choeur International Gai de Paris, and baritone Jean-Paul Galland. I am surprised to see my name as the sender. Because I happened to post that old message, an airline explosion and a gay choral festival are connected online. History is not an objective thing, pure and abstract, but built from countless choices on what to record and what to let go.
The GALA festival earlier this month in Denver had over 6,000 delegates. I did not attend, having retired from the chorus years ago. But doubtless many of the singers were not yet born when America was first hit by a mysterious disease that attacked the immune system. That was the summer of 1981 – the same summer when the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus inspired GMCW's birth by performing at the Kennedy Center on its 10-city national tour.
The "In Memoriam" rosters of departed members in Gay Pride concert programs across the country could populate large ghost choruses. Thirty-one years is a long time, long enough for the survivors increasingly to die of natural causes, like old war veterans.
The International AIDS Conference is accompanied by related events including a display of the Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt, a revival of Larry Kramer's play The Normal Heart, and the five-branch We Can End AIDS march set for July 24. But the conference's main purpose, its website says, is "to assess where we are, evaluate recent scientific developments and lessons learnt, and collectively chart a course forward" to end the pandemic.
When an enterprise lasts more than a generation, its success requires a professional element. This is true whether fighting a disease or managing a chorus. Yet a blogger friend springs to mind who still refers pejoratively to "AIDS Inc.," and I recall a GMCW co-founder who was angered years ago to learn that the chorus governance had been changed to bring in more professionalism, even though he had long since moved away.
Sometimes we stubbornly cling to old ways, as I long clung to Microsoft-based PCs despite frequently cursing at them. Now I receive my magazines and newspapers on my iPad. Change doesn't happen all at once, as I was reminded last week while helping stuff 1,000 bags with printed materials for distribution at the "From Stigma to Strength" pre-conference and the AIDS 2012 Global Village. Everyone hasn't switched to electronic downloading.
One thing I am confident will never change is that people with shared interests will travel long distances to interact in person. Technology gives us wonderful tools, but we are still flesh and blood creatures who feel compelled to risk getting together. There are things teleconferencing cannot do. Here's to the arriving delegates, and the bits of history they inadvertently gather as they follow their hearts.

If you don't want to use cable TV or satellite, you still have myriad choices for getting your fix of video content thanks to a plethora of download and streaming services. But the landscape of streaming entertainment is badly fractured because of copyright issues, turf wars and fear, uncertainty and doubt from the companies that control the content. Will it ever change?

Hulu Plus for iPhone and iPad has been updated with a new Kids Lock features that limits the app to be safe and fun for kids. When enabled, only programming for children will be accessible and it'll all be ad-free. To exit out of this mode, you will be required to enter your Hulu password, so you can rest assured that your child will not be able to exit and watch shows and movies that are inappropriate for their age.
Hulu Plus, the U.S. streaming television service jointly ventured by NBC, Fox, and ABC, has suddenly appeared on Apple TV in America. This according to multiple tips, emails, tweets, and pretty much everything you can imagine -- except for official word from Apple or Hulu.
Apple already has a Hulu Plus app up and running on Apple TV but may be delaying its launch due to concerns it will compete with iTunes TV Show sales, according to 9to5Mac. Their sources claim the Hulu Plus for Apple TV is now feature complete and ready for release, and has supposedly been ready for release for over a month. The reason for the hold is thought to be political and not related to any technical issues.
While Apple TV 2 has had Netflix since launch, their content is mainly older, catalog shows, not the new releases that are more profitable for iTunes.
Two sources familiar with the auction are reporting to Bloomberg that Apple is considering a bid to purchase the Hulu service. This isn't too hard to believe considering Apple has $76.2 billion in cash and securities.
Hulu is already a competitor to Netflix but if Apple does make an offer, this may give Netflix an even larger run for its money. Especially after Netflix's recent pricing change that recently angered a lot of its customers.
The LA Times is reporting that Google is in preliminary talks to acquire none other than Hulu. The information comes from anonymous sources close to the situation. Google is supposedly interested in buying Hulu due to the huge potential for advertising revenue. The report also claims that Google will face stiff competition from Yahoo and Microsoft.
Hulu has content from a number of current TV shows and has apps available for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad that are based on a monthly subscription model, though it is currently US only.
Hulu+ has been updated for the iPad and iPhone to includes new features and better yet -- a new, lower subscription price of $7.99.
Hulu launched on iOS back in late June followed by an immediate follow up of the Hulu+ subscription service at $9.99.
Update: The Hulu Plus application [iTunes Link - Free] is now available within the App Store. We viewed some of the free content on a iPhone 4 over AT&T's 3G network and it streamed flawlessly.
Today that rumor of Hulu introducing a premium paid service has come true as they have officially announced Hulu Plus. It will run you a cool $9.99/month and that will give you streaming access - via Wi-Fi or 3G - to entire seasons of shows that are already available on the free web service along with other programming that is not available on Hulu's website. And the good news is it's just not for iPads but rather every device in the iOS family - iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad. There will also be future support for a countless number of other devices such as the Playstation 3 (July) and Xbox 360 (2011). If this sounds like your cup of tea be sure to sign up for the preview invite here.
How many of you are getting ready to do away with your cable or satellite TV service?
Video after the break!
[Thanks to all of you who sent this in!]
Premiere episode! iPad 3G incoming, camera kit surprises, how to put on a screen protector, iPad typing tips, Hulu, Farmville, Bento, Epicurious, and more! Listen in!
9to5Mac believes Hulu is coming to the iPad (and Android), with testing to begin as soon as May 24. This comes on the heels of a LA Times article that reveals Hulu's plans to offer a $9.95/month subscription option, granting access to their back catalog of TV show.

"We knew they were very athletic. We knew they were quick and we knew they would be aggressive in attacking the boards on both ends of the floor. At the same time, we felt like because they were so aggressive attacking the boards we thought we could get some quick baskets in transition," Felder said. "That helped us out a lot tonight. We really weren't on offensively, never did get a good rhythm offensively but they had a lot to do with that the way they played defense."
"Really, our main focus was to try to play better defense because last week they really hurt us down low with (Justin Foster) and then kicking it back out. … I think that was probably the best defensive effort we've had all season," said first-year Wellborn coach Beau Winn. "Our defense has gotten so much better in our man-to-man and half-court defense."
The Falcons led at every quarter break and extended their 36-32 third-quarter advantage to 42-34 with 3:17 to play when Chris Carr was awarded a basket on a goaltending call. From there, matters got dicey.
Over the next 90 seconds, Wellborn's Landon Machristie scored from the paint twice and the Panthers trailed just 42-38. The Falcons had opportunities to put the game away at the free throw line. Their 4-for-9 showing was enough to extend their edge back to eight points at 46-38 with 42 seconds to play.
Junior Corri Tignor started another Panther push with a 3-point basket but Foster answered for Donoho with a pair of foul shots. Tignor's putback made it 48-43 with 16 seconds on the clock before Carr added one more Donoho free throw. Machristie banked home another trey for Wellborn at the four-second mark. Wellborn got one more possession when Donoho missed two charity shots but was unable to get a shot away.
"We didn't shoot as well as we wanted to but we made enough of them to keep our lead," Felder said of the Falcons' free throw shooting.
Foster led all scorers with 17 points. Chris Carr and Kevin Carr each had nine points. Parker Morgan and Richard Bateman added six points apiece for Donoho.
Machristie led Wellborn with 13 points. Senior point guard Devron Taylor tallied 11 points for the Panthers. Tignor finished with eight points while Jordan Montgomery and Blake Hanson each had six.
Ranburne 84, Jacksonville Christian 75: In the boys' consolation game, Ranburne scored 33 points in the second quarter for a 45-30 halftime advantage then allowed 27 points in the third period as a double-digit lead gradually evaporated. A 3-point basket by JCA's Alex Jones with just more than a minute to play got the Thunder within two points at 77-75. Ranburne's final seven points came at the charity stripe. Spence Florczak was 3-for-4 while Kyle Lovvorn and Dylan Wiggins each went 2-for-2.
Mark David Smith led the Bulldogs with a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds. Lovvorn had 21 points, five assists and three steals in the win. Wiggins and Owen Smith each scored 17 points. Wiggins added nine assists and six rebounds. Florczak ended with nine points.
Jones topped the Thunder with 25 points, 19 in the second half. He netted four treys. Dakota Crook added 19 points for JCA and Walker Messer had 12 points.

A's players, coaches, and broadcasters, along with local and national personalities and celebrities serve root beer floats in the Eastside Club. Proceeds are raised through the sale of floats, tips given in exchange for autographs and photos with the celebrity scoopers, the sale of autographed mugs, and a silent auction of sports memorabilia.
The 2014 Root Beer Float Day will be on Wednesday, July 23.
The annual A's Breast Cancer Awareness Day has benefitted the American Cancer Society, Cancer Prevention Institute of California, and Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Over the past 15 years, this event has raised more than $1.25 million for breast cancer education and research.
Funds were raised through the sale of special ticket packages, commemorative pins, hats, pink jerseys, heart ribbon pendants, an A's autographed quilt raffle, and fan and sponsor support.
Pregame ceremonies featured over 500 Bay Area breast cancer survivors forming a symbolic human ribbon on the field in dedication of hope and survival, and the release of white doves as a symbol of hope.
In addition, as a part of "A Gift of Faith" grant, the A's donate $5,000 annually to a local charity in memory of longtime KTVU Channel 2 reporter, the late Faith Fancher.
The 2014 Breast Cancer Awareness Day will be on Mother's Day - Sunday, May 11.

Oakland A's pitchers Sean Doolittle and A.J. Griffin made the 2013 holiday season special for a group of deserving children at the A's Community Fund's annual holiday party at the Oakland Zoo, presented by Round Table Pizza and Aquafina. Doolittle and Griffin signed autographs and took photos with 200 students from Howard Elementary School in Oakland, a reward for the students' excellent attendance and classroom behavior. Each child received a wrapped gift, courtesy of the Good Tidings Foundation, and the day also included face painting, arts and crafts, and a visit by Santa and A's mascot Stomper. Read More »
Every Saturday and Sunday home game (and select weekday games), the A's Community Fund hosts a silent auction featuring both signed and unsigned A's memorabilia as well as game-used items. The silent auction is located in the A's Fan Center behind Section 120 and ends with the last out in the bottom of the fifth inning.
During the 2013 season, various charity groups received a portion of the more than $50,000 raised as silent auction partners.
Proceeds from the auction benefit the A's Community Fund and various other local charities. Purchased items are tax deductible.

Kangaroo Temple/N Face
07/05/14 (Sat)
Seattle Climbing
Ken Hahn
Climb up leftward over rib and ascend furrow, to a narrow belay ledge at a fixed pin on a steep nose. For the second pitch, traverse right along a ledge and go up and over a large detached slab boulder. Find hidden crack, shoulder high at base of steep wall for belay anchor. The 3rd pitch is short. Lead around corner to dramatic exposure. Hand traverse and step across to small belay tree of questionable merit due to its impending death. Lead crux crack at start of new pitch by finding small hand hold on left wallÑ5.4. Continue up sandy benches with good belay trees. Can unrope just below summit for scramble to top. This is a pleasurable, exciting climb with gorgeous sceneryÑbut, it is not a first climb for the timid. Rope leaders should be confident and competent. Either car camp the night before, or tent camp the previous afternoon S of Kangaroo Pass. The first pitch has some loose rock so the belayer should be careful to avoid the direct line below the climber. The remainder of climb is very sound, low 5th class rock. When traversing from Kangaroo Pass toward climb, be sure to pass beneath all major slabs. First pitch requires full rope. Parking at the switchback may not be possible very early in the season.
For members of Hahn SIG only.
This is not available for registration yet.

Can I include favorite lines from previous books?
Book 5, when the Weasleys learn that Ron has been made Prefect:
Molly: Ron, A Prefect! I'm so proud - that's everyone in the family!
George: What are we, the next-door neighbors?
Book 6, when Dumbledore comes to 4 Privet Drive to get Harry (the entire scene is hysterical, but this part is my favorite):
Vernon: I don't mean to be rude...
Dumbledore: Yet accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often. Best not to say anything at all.
And OHHH that scene with Dumbledore and the Dursleys is so great! I remember just rolling about the glasses banging the Dursleys in the head.

Athletics-Frustrated Montgomery heads home
BERLIN, Aug 10 (Reuters) - World 100 metres record holder Tim Montgomery has gone back to the United States after a series of frustrating results in Europe.
Organisers of Sunday's Berlin Golden League meeting said Montgomery had informed them that he had gone home and would not enter the event.
Florian Schwarthoff, head of sports for the Berlin meeting, said Montgomery had told him that he had gone straight back to the United States after his disappointing performance at Friday's London Grand Prix.
The American sprinter failed to make the final at Crystal Palace after having finished sixth in Stockholm on Tuesday in a time of 10.37.
"He told me he was too disappointed with his form to come to Berlin," Schwarthoff said. "He has gone back to the United States."
Montgomery had just returned to competition after his partner Marion Jones gave birth to their son in June.
He remained vague when asked on Friday whether he still planned to enter the August 23-31 world championships in Paris.
i find it hard to believe that the wr holder in the 100 meter would show such poor judgement so close to the world championships. if he heads home now he will not be back until just before the start of the worlds (the 100 meters start on the 24th). obviously he will be jet lagged and tired unless he wants to use that as an excuse when he does not even make the final. it seems just as likely to me that he is heading home with the goal not to return to europe until the end of august or start of september. there is a possibility that marion jones will run in brussels september 5th (which i doubt) so he will just go there with her (if that is really the case). if he happens to do well in brussels he might say he is preparing for next year when it counts more. of course this is just speculation and big question marks. but it is not out of the question that he might not show up in paris.

Elie Saab
OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Elie Saab
2009 July 8
Elie Saab - Paris Haute Couture Fall 2009
View Gallery
(PARIS) The world's best-selling couturier debuted an all-white collection of evening confections that proved just how easily one hue can translate into 46 looks (with enough beading, feathering and flowering, that is). There's a reason so many women bound for a red carpet depend on this brand--Saab's fawning over the female form has few rivals. But this season, he allowed himself to indulge a younger, cheekier side--to great effect. An asymmetrical sleeved open-back mini in boiled wool had plenty of conceal-to-reveal moxie, while a silk swing dress draped in paillettes will give those seeking a gown alternative a reason to indulge. But Saab's versatility made its mark in an entirely paillette-embroidered swing coat, studded with organza flowers and plumes. "I'm inspired by every woman I meet," said the designer before the show. "Why design for just one?"

The Black-Eyed Susan is a symbol that collectively incorporates everything Preakness.
From the state flower of Maryland to the key stakes for the fillies before the Preakness Stakes or the blanket of flowers that will adorn the winner of the second jewel of the Triple Crown. The Black-Eyed Susan is an icon of the Preakness and the official flower of the race.
However, few remember the Black-Eyed Susan as the official drink of the Preakness. Most forget that the Black-Eyed Susan is one of the most refreshing and equally one of the most knockout drinks around.
You may ask why? Unfortunately for us cocktail connoisseurs, the Black-Eyed Susan only makes its return annually, most commonly served at Pimlico Race Course for the two days surrounding the Preakness.
Similar to the Mint Julep, from the first leg of the Triple Crown, the Black-Eyed Susan can be purchased in commemorative glasses literally anywhere at Pimlico on these two days, infield to clubhouse. After the second jewel is won and done, though, the drink won't resurface until next year's Preakness. This is a tragedy to the many drink lovers across the horseracing sphere, because the drink is very unique. Almost literally, you may never find anything like it ever again.
The Black Eyed Susan, a drink unlike any other, somewhat because of its timely appearances, but more importantly because of its contents. So comes the true question; what is in a Black-Eyed Susan?
When I first heard of the drink I pictured a beautiful yellow drink, one that tastes like sunshine.
Isn't that what you think?
I pictured a Black-Eyed Susan in a glass. Funnily enough, there was a time when the Black Eyed Susan beverage looked and tasted like that. However, over the years of the Preakness Stakes, the recipe and ingredients have evolved.
Honestly, after some research and questions I'm still confused about the true ingredients of the beverage. There are a variety of interpretations, including this one from last year:
That's the best part of a cocktail though, right? You have the ability to give it whatever twist you like.
At the end of the day, that's the best part of the Black-Eyed Susan. You can have a light, refreshing beverage and enjoy an exciting day of racing OR you can make a hard, exciting cocktail that will fully prepare you for the craziness that is the Preakness infield.
So this weekend, whether you are at Pimlico or on the couch, bring some taste to your horse race with the Black-Eyed Susan.

Compare Electricity Rates In Houston: What You Should Know
When you're researching energy companies in Houston, there are a few things to keep in mind. For example, what's most important to you: doing your part to help the environment by consuming greener energy or finding the lowest Houston electricity rates. Since your energy market is deregulated, it's a good idea to compare electricity rates in Houston to make sure you're getting the service that's right for you.
Energy companies in Houston compete in a deregulated market
Since Houston deregulation, consumers in Texas have the power to choose who supplies their energy. That's why it's more important than ever to look into the advantages of choosing a retailer instead of just sticking with your Texas utility.
Many retailers offer green energy.
Choosing a renewable energy provider is an easy way to help reduce your carbon footprint. Instead of using resources that are harmful to the environment such as coal or gas, these energy companies in Houston utilize cutting-edge technology to produce green energy from wind, hydro, biomass and more.
Your decision to choose a green retailer will also help boost the green movement by creating more demand for renewable energy. As more Texas energy consumers choose alternative energy sources, more providers will begin offering competitive energy solutions. This will provide an incentive for the development of new renewable energy technology, and it could also lead to better prices for green energy in Texas. When you choose a green energy retailer, you'll become part of the revolution of the Texas energy market.
It's easy to make the switch.
When you choose an alternative energy provider, you won't have to worry about an interruption of power or unreliable service. Your utility will still deliver the energy to your home in Houston. However, the primary source of your power will now be renewable energy solutions that aren't as harmful to the environment as the coal or gas your utility may use to generate electricity.
There are no expensive installations and no new hookups required to get started with a renewable energy retailer. All it takes is some research to find the service and rates that are right for you and one easy phone call.
Houston electricity rates: Find the best service and rates that are right for you
When you're researching energy companies in Houston, keep in mind that you have a couple of options when it comes to your electricity rates:
- Floating rate: If you choose a floating rate, your bill will be determined by the actual cost for energy on a monthly basis. You could enjoy lower rates at some points during the year, but you should also be prepared to face higher rates depending on the actual cost of energy.
- Fixed rate: With a fixed rate, you'll enjoy a consistent monthly rate no matter how much the actual cost of energy fluctuates. That means even if the actual cost doubles, you won't have to pay extra. However, it also means that if the actual cost decreases, you will continue to pay the price agreed upon. The benefit of choosing a fixed supply rate is that you'll have the ability to accurately plan your budget over a long period of time.
Once you get started with your service, your monthly bill may also fluctuate depending on how much energy you use. Here are a few easy tips for using less energy and reducing your bill:
- Make sure everyone in the house turns off lights, TVs and other electronics when they are not in use.
- Unplug appliances such as stereos, phone chargers and lamps when they are not in use.
- Make sure your heating and air vents aren't blocked to prevent your systems from overworking and to ensure that air is circulating evenly throughout the house.
As you research energy providers, make sure to ask about your options and learn how you can take advantage of the best electricity rates in Houston.
Going green is easier than ever
You have the unique opportunity to choose your own Texas energy provider in Houston. Explore your options instead of just sticking with your utility, and go with a green retailer for an easy way to do your part in protecting the environment. It's easy to make the switch; all you have to do is research a provider that's right for you, and make one easy phone call. You'll help reduce your carbon footprint, and you could even save on your monthly bill at the same time.
CompareElectrictyRatesInHouston.com can help you make the best decisions about your energy in Houston. Browse this site to learn how the deregulated energy market benefits you in Texas, discover alternative energy providers and renewable energy solutions, and compare electricity rates in Houston.

What do you think about the 2014 DeMarini CF6: DXCF8 Fastpitch ?
|or Cancel
6 Product Reviews
Questions and Answers
Got a question about the 2014 DeMarini CF6: DXCF8 Fastpitch? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
Is this bat legal to use in Virginia High School Softball and could you provide a list of bats that are legal?
Yes, the 2014 DeMarini CF6: DXCF8 Fastpitch bat will be legal for high school play across the nation. It will have the most updated USSSA stamp on the barrel. Instead of listing thousands of bats here, just look for the most updated USSSA stamp on the bat. It looks like a small thumbprint and will say USSSA certified.
Do you ship to HK? If yes, how and what's the charge?
I am sorry, but we only ship here within the United States.
Will the CF6 BBCOR have the diffusion handle like the Insane when it comes out in the fall?
The CF6 BBCOR will not have the diffusion handle like the DeMarini Insane. The 2014 DeMarini CF6: DXCF8 Fastpitch also does not feature the diffusion handle.
Product Description
New for 2014! If we said that this bat was as hot as it looked, we'd be doing it a disservice. It's much, much hotter than that. Ready to bust loose, this year's CF6 is the hottest composite fastpitch bat out of the wrapper that DeMarini has ever produced. That's due to the all new Paradox Composite barrel and handle on this two-piece design. Paradox Composite makes the barrel stronger, while being scientifically shaped to feel softer on impact. This makes for a bigger, hotter, and more responsive sweet spot and consistently more powerful swings! The Paradox handle is designed stiff so that players can get an even better feel for the sweet spot, while continuing to produce a powerful, consistent swing. The CF6 features Stacked Double Wall Construction that creates a trampoline effect across the entirety of the barrel for completely optimized performance. At the end of the barrel, a Clutch End Cap dampens vibration for an incredibly smooth swing. If you're at the top of your game and demand the absolute best, it's the CF6 or nothing! DeMarini: Born Hardcore! The CF6 is approved for play in ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, and ISF. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

The Texas Triple Threat
In the blue corner, from the Hellions Paintball team....Ray "DrunkenMaster" Harlan
In the red corner, from Team Loyalty....Melissa "Bunny" Riggs
And in the green corner, from Team Blackwatch....Jonathan "Skullman" Humphries
This is gonna be an awesome game!
26 Hours (Noon Sat til 2pm Sunday)
Reinsertions every 20 minutes
Three Sides (Not two sides with a third faction...but three full teams)
Three fortresses
Multi-mission packets every 30 minutes
Hourly speedball matches for bonus points for your side
The Texas Triple Threat will be one of the most unique events weve ever produced. Three commanders will face off in a three-way slug fest. Yeah, I know we were the first scenario company to produce a three-way event back in 2000 with 1000 players in Houston, so weve done it before. Sure we have, but this will be far more interesting.
The commanders and their armies will rotate bases at dinner, and again at breakfast, so they will play one-third of the game from each base.
Additionally, Petty Paintball is mostly wooded, with lots of great terrain and ravines. However, the scenario field doesnt really have a central speedball area. However, to add a new twist, and provide that speedball fix that many of you love, the commanders will have hourly opportunities to earn chances to send squads to The Grinder (The many speedball fields) for quick speedball matches. Wins will earn bonus points for their side.
The Grinder:
At 1pm each commander will call in and "wager" one mission and send in one five-man team. They will play a round robin style tournament on the speedball fields. This continues each hour of the event.
(Randomly determined order)
Red vs Blue
Red vs Green
Blue vs Green
Center flag games
7 Minute time limit
+5 for first pull
+10 for the hang
+2 per enemy elimination
(Max = 25 points)
Expired time results in award of points scored during the seven minutes.
Only the winner receives points. A hang = a win. In the event of no hang the highest scoring team is the winner and keeps their score. Losing teams get zero.
1st place = Double points awarded for wagered mission
2nd place = Keep the points for the wagered mission
3rd place = No score for wagered mission
This repeats each hour. If only two teams show up then first and second are awarded as stated above. If only one team shows it's an automatic first place.
Anyone who just competed in the grinder must wait one hour before returning.
So you see, you must EARN the right to compete, the risk is up to the commander, and not showing sets the other side up for an easier bonus. If you think you're ahead gamble with little missions. If you are behind you can take a bigger risk change the spread...one way or the other.
There will be other twists as well that will make this an intense, fast-paced, and unique experience for everyone. More details will follow soon.
For those who haven't heard of Texas Pump and Pistol Games you are missing out on a lot of fun. They will be hosting a game in Early March at Petty Paintball, and will be sponsoring free pump and pistol games Friday at the Texas Triple Threat!

(Continued from page 1)
Patriots' QB Tom Brady didn't exactly sit down on the job Sunday, but the combination of a furious Baltimore defense, dropped passes by Wes Welker and a below-average performance by Brady himself precludes a trip to New Orleans.
The Associated Press
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, right, celebrates with teammate Vonta Leach after Sunday's victory. Lewis has said that he plans to retire at the end of his postseason.
The Associated Press
When the game was over and Baltimore celebrated, the big stadium emptied quickly. Before kickoff it was a night of the usual chest-beating and cheering as fans streamed from their encampments in the vast parking lots, walking up the wide ramps to their seats. They jeered anyone spotted in Baltimore Ravens purple-and-white.
The noise and gestures were good-natured. Winning three Super Bowls since 2002 confers the privilege of smugness. We've got Tom Brady and Bill Belichick on our side. The NFL's best quarterback and best coach. A pair of kings. What do you got?
A young quarterback named Joe Flacco. Neither his pedigree (Delaware) nor his performances in previous years earned praise. He's come of age.
The Ravens had Pollard, nicknamed the "Bonecrusher" when he played in college.
He's the guy who knocked Brady out of that game in 2008, wrecking the quarterback's knee. His hit injured Wes Welker, knocking him out of the playoffs. His hit on Rob Gronkowski all but sidelined the big tight end late last year. And now the hit on Ridley. The Patriots tried to respond and couldn't. You're not used to seeing that.
"I'm not going to worry," said Gail Keel of North Haverhill, Mass., another longtime fan. "We've been to so many Super Bowls. This is still the most successful team in football. We'll always have that."

text: I have no recollection of how Tim Burton's Beetlejuice ended up in my family's rotation of films to be watched while decorating the Christmas tree—Edward Scissorhands was also in the mix—but almost every second Christmas we'd call his name three times and wait for him to appear. Since I moved away from my childhood home and my parents started decorating the tree without me, the film's plot has begun to fade in my memory. However, the costumes and make-up—from Lydia Deetz's all-black, "Life Is A Dark Room"-style ensembles, to Beetlejuice's wide-striped suit and altogether crazier-than-thou appearance—will forever be burned into my mind.

Police in Cheltenham Township say a traffic stop on Sunday led to the discovery of 4 kilograms of heroin packed inside the trunk of a car.
According to police, a Chrysler 300 was pulled over Sunday night around 8:15 p.m. for traffic violations. Investigators say the driver, identified as 34-year-old Frankie Melecio Laboy, was nervous and was allegedly uncooperative with officers.
Laboy was taken into custody after police say a check of his background revealed an outstanding warrant out of Florida for receiving stolen property.
The car was seized and on Monday, police say they executed a search warrant, where they discovered the heroin. Investigators estimate the heroin to be worth a street value of $1.2 million.
Laboy faces possession with intent to deliver, police said.
Police in Camden County are asking drivers to be alert after two carjackings since this weekend along one city street.

Ladies Perfume
When one looks at a woman and you find interesting, you can never fail to give a lot of compliments, as you can. But when you feel something really good and you do not know where it came from and who wears it, you'll never fall asleep on your curiosity. Here's how a scent could get powerful lord once you've chosen the right focus. And the "secret of the beauty of every woman who comes to everyone around her crazy. Imagine how you put a magnet against the other and stick together if they are polar opposites, which is what a woman can attract the attention of all the boys to her if she wears the best perfume.
Love the perfume of the ladies want something that is essential for every woman. When they find one that suits their needs and desires better, embrace it as much as you would be welcome. It is a part of them that nothing and no one could replace. Most women just want to stick to their preferred fragrance for life and can not find anything else to keep a lot more. This is because, as they grow up with it, becomes their identity. Each time they wear their favorite fragrance, it is necessary to make them known so that people can easily identify with it.
When you choose the type of ladies' perfume, you will surely every reason to expect positive reactions from different people. But if you decide otherwise, then you know what will happen to you. In this sense, the importance of choosing the right type of perfume should be a priority, unless you want to humiliate you in public, you should never do.

In an exchange that highlights some of the challenges facing the Financial Accounting Standards Board's drive to reduce accounting complexity, experts from Standard and Poor's have said one of FASB's latest proposals is likely to create more confusion.
In January, FASB proposed giving companies the choice of using fair value accounting when booking certain financial assets and liabilities, rather than historic cost accounting or other methods. The proposal, an expansive amendment of FAS 115 (Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities), would, in many cases, allow companies to avoid using the complex and often cumbersome hedge accounting provisions of FAS 133. It would also reduce earnings volatility caused by instruments that don't qualify for FAS 133 treatment.
Under current accounting, financial instruments purchased as hedges often are reported at their historic cost, even as companies report the hedged item at fair value. The resulting mismatch in values can cause earnings to fluctuate over the life of the hedge, even if the hedge ultimately proves effective. But if the fair value of both the financial instrument and the item it is intended to hedge are reported on the balance sheet and any changes in both flow through income, as FASB proposes, the two items would offset each other. And the more effective the hedge, the smaller the resulting impact on earnings would be.
That proposal would seem to be representative of FASB Chairman Robert Herz's public push to reduce complexity in financial accounting. Not only would it simplify, or eliminate, hedge accounting in many cases, it would also move U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) closer to International Accounting Standards (which already provide such an option). The proposal's reliance on fair value measurements is also a hallmark of Herz's anti-complexity effort.
But the first phase of the two-step proposal doesn't go far enough, says Neri Bukspan, chief accountant for S&P. Bukspan, and his colleague, Joyce Joseph-Bell, who co-authored S&P's 11-page comment letter, support the use of fair value accounting. Like other proponents of fair value —including FASB itself — Bukspan says fair value offers a better gauge of true market value than historic cost. Yet Bukspan and Joseph-Bell raise several thorny issues related to the practical application of FASB's proposal.
For example, S&P argues against the proposal's "mixed attribute" framework, which increases the potential for unexplained balance sheet mismatches between connected assets and liabilities.
Bukspan offers a hypothetical example to illustrate the potential mismatch. Under the pending rule, an oil company has the choice of recording a debt obligation (a financial liability) using either cost- or fair-value accounting, but is limited to using cost accounting to record a new oil reserve discovery (a non-financial asset). If the company is inconsistent regarding which accounting treatment it uses to book the reserves' effect on the debt obligation, analysts would be left scratching their heads, hunting for a balance sheet match between the asset and liability, says Bukspan.

Titleist Pro V1x loyalist Bubba Watson wins The Masters for the 2nd time in 3 years
Sobel has covered golf since 2004 and provides columns, blogs, chats for Golf Channel.

this was the worst place i went to the food was too salty, the food servere used her bare hands to put the bread on the plate the bread was old, i cant believe she would allow here name on this. stay away
My Goodness. What a overblown ego these folks have ,the food ,please I can cook better and don't even care too.18.00 for a buffet with some of the most non appealing food.My daughter was turned away at the door after making a reservation ,driving 6 hours with two children.Trying to find a parking spot that cost 10.00.
My advice is steer clear .There are wonderful places to go enjoy the city this is not one of them.
We had a wonderful/enjoyable meal. We were lucky enough to walk right in. Freddie our server was excellent!!!
Prefer not to eat at a.... – ...restaurant where the General Manager refers to himself as "One of Paula's Other Sons" and boasts how he can get away with "anything" (and does) will NEVER be fired (and hasn't) continues to brag how he gets a new car every year from Paula on his birthday, then turns around and calls his employees "MONKEYS". Really?? Paula should shake some of her bling off, pull a few weave strands out so her brain can clear and talk real! Most of her vegetables come in huge institution cans that her staff "dresses up" and the food tastes like s%(t. The way I see it, this place does not even earn a star, period! Did I tell you how "nasty" the kitchen is? Big Tourist Trap. Enjoy Mrs. Wilkes (only thing Obama got right) or the Pink House, Elizabeth's on 37th. Get some "real quality food" for your money and do not waste it on "Paula". You will thank me : ) BTW, she is very rarely there, has a cut out you can take a photo with (if you are that lame) and does not cook a thing at her restaurant. It is all about money, sales, brand, name, etc...We've lost that loving feeling for her in Savannah, so please enjoy our real pride and joys in food as listed above! Cheers!
Try for yourself – After reading so many negative reviews everywhere online, I was a little dishearted. However, my husband insisted that we should at least give it a try.
We were going to wait in line at 9 in the morning. But we didn't get up until 9:30. So by the time we got there, it was like 10:30 already. I thought we couldn't get a reservation, but we got one for dinner @ 7:30 with no problem. And the hostess was very nice, nothing like the other reviews had described.
So we got back there at 7:15 for our dinner reservation and my husband couldn't find a parking space on the street. Without even being asked, the hostess told us we could park right across the street where there was a sign saying "no parking at any time". She told us nobody would care after 5PM.
After seated, the server Tim greeted us and brought us drinks right away. Throughout our dinner, he was nice and attentive. Again, nothing like the other reviews had described.
For dinner, we both got the buffet. The fried chicken was good, but I agree that Mrs. Wilkes' was better. The shrimps were nicely flavored. I enjoyed them even though they weren't devined as I would like to. I think all the side dishes were really delicious, probably the best that I had ever had. I loved the creamed potatoes, the collard greens, and the yam.
At the end of the meal, I was literally stuffed. My only regret was that I didn't have a bigger stomach. And the server even let us take our desserts to go. Can this get any better??!! After we got our check, the server told us to keep the receipt so that we could get the "buy one entree and get the second one free at Uncle Bubba's" deal.
To sum up, I guess my advice is to enjoy this place at the off-season time of the year because you will fall in love with it!
Lady and Sons and Uncle Bubba's – I wouldn't waste my time at this business. Its over priced fried chicken. You can get better food at other establishments in Savannah for a better price. I have lived in Savannah for 18 years and have seen this establishment grow over the years and it has not been for the good. Also I heard Uncle Bubba was recently SHUT down for days over a health inspection. I have eaten there and the food is awful and expensive. Don't waste your time and money
10 HOUR DRIVE FOR NOTHING on my BIRTHDAY – I am a huge Food Network Fan and Love Paula Deen so naturally I couldn't wait to drive all day from Maryland to Savannah on my birthday. The Lady & Sons was my first stop even before checking in my hotel. WHAT a disappointment to learn that at 5 p.m. on a Tuesday I could not get in that evening at all not even at 10 p.m. for dinner.They had reached their capacity for the entire evening, I was told to come at 8 a.m. to put my name down for dinner, I don't want to waste my vacation in line at 8 a.m. I want to be somewhere having breakfast. Very mad what a shame she does not mention this on T.V. when she talks about her place and everyone I told I was coming there warned me not to go there, especially the locals and I kept wondering why. I see not. So I chose the olde Pink House next turned out to be an EXCELLENT replacement.
Southern or not, truly delicious! – I had read mixed reviews about this place before I went there for the first time; and now I have been there at least thirty times! Don't trust the unreasonably harsh negative reviews. I don't know what people expect. Those who think it is overpriced must have grown up on McDonald's $1 meals! Seriously, you'd have to be superlatively cheap to think this place is expensive. And then, there were some who complained about the food being unhealthy! Really, what did they expect to find? It's like going to a vegetarian restaurant and complaining about not getting any meat!
The buffet is good; but it really is the menu that keeps taking me back to the restaurant. The crabcakes are the best I have ever had (I don't like crabcakes anywhere else anymore since I've tried theirs!), the chicken potpie is amazing but too big for anybody to eat it all, the tilapia sandwich (blackened tilapia filet with a sweet Georgia peach glazing... YUMMM!!!) and the meatloaf sandwich are awesome and the poet's lunch (I had a crab stew and the pimento cheese sandwich) is much more than adequate!
Some say it is not true authentic Southern food. Well, maybe it isn't; but it is absolutely delicious all the same!
And they only make you wait in the gift shop when it is raining of the weather is otherwise bad. When the weather is fine, you wait outside. So I don't think waiting in the gift shop is a ploy to get you to buy something. Let's not blame them for being considerate.
Mixed experience – Love food network, and think Paulas recipes never fall short. We were super excited to get to have dinner at THE Lady & Son's since it is hyped as being so good.. I had the Steak and Pie. Steak was good, pie was not. My husband had the buffet and he really liked all of his choices. I think overall it was a mediocre experience. But maybe I just orderd the wrong thing. Hint-- we did not have to make reservations since we ate so late (10 pm) but most normal dinner times expects to make reservations FAR in advance.
The Best Food In Savannah! – Our family makes reservations for every Thanksgiving. We make a resevation for 11:00 and are always seated before 11:00. The food is delicious, The Sweet Tea is excellent, and the Service is PERFECT! Our glasses are never empty and if we ask for anything we receive it immediately! The waiters are very kind!
